hern3000

Dear all,

Sun has just (11.45am) entered the sign of Aries.. It's officially Spring Equinox now. :-)

Wishing all a bright time ahead, as the Wheel turns..

“In the turning of the Year,

the light equals the dark,

The sun embraces the moon,

the balance of hands is true,

The left and the right,

the dark and the light.”

Thank you to all for attending the PFL spring eqx ritual last night at conway Hall. Special thanks to `Enfield Town Circle' (Enfield Moot run by April).. for facilitating the ritual. I notice there was a sharp mercury-saturn alignment yesterday.. all sorts of challenges in everyoen's lives.. open sea, calmer waters now.. and our own Star (sun) is bright above us today.. FANTASTIC! :-)

If you missed the ritual last night, there's an outdoor Spring ritual event happening at Oxleas woods (organised by Ed & April).

"Pagans at Home-Pagans in the Park will be holding a Spring Equinox open ceremony on Saturday 21st March at Oxleas Wood. We will meet at 11AM outside the cafe, which, for those who don't know it, is at the end of Crown Woods Lane, off Kenilworth Gardens (see the link below). There is no charge, but please feel free to bring some food and drinks to share in a picnic afterwards. Please also feel free to bring any stories, songs, poems, juggling skills or music (live, not recorded, please) to perform/share during the picnic. Pagans at Home-Pagans in the park is family oriented, so parents, please feel free to bring your children. For those who want more information, please call Ed on 07957 625117 (evenings or weekend, please) or email us"

Subject: Craft & Magic: Outdoor Wicca (apprenticeship) course. starts May'09.

hern3000

Dear all,

On this day of Fools, I am pleased to announce the begining of the following journey..

Craft & Magic 2009: Outdoor Wicca course (apprenticeship format)

(monthly, 5 months; May-September 2009).

Wicca & Witchcraft is a mystery tradition and best learnt experiential. Last year, we ran 3 sets of weekend & evening wicca courses in the spring, summer & autumn. In 2009, we will facilitate this in a 5-months long outdoor (apprenticeship) course. Training sessions will be once a month at an outdoor woods around London. There will also be additional indoor social meet-ups every month for discussions, feed-backs and preparations.

Better Continuity, regular connection and natural group bonding, as well as a chance to work magic in woodlands around London are unique advantages to this course. Between monthly training sessions, participants will be asked to take up personal magical work and quests, and share their experiences at subsequent sessions. mani-empowerment

Participants will be guided through foundations necessary for magical work & wicca, preparatory rituals, path-workings & quests, as well as making and using essential ritual tools. Attention is given to the fact that this is an outdoor course, with minimum fuss to elaborate tools. More focus will be on working with natural tools and energies of the land and the Self. Spiritual aspects of the psyche-such as Seeker, warrior, Healer, King/Queen - will be linked in the context of the God & Goddess archetypes/nature cycles. (these will be fully explored in a closed group course in Autumn/ Winter).

Unlike other courses, registration process will involve a prior-personal meeting with the lead facilitator (Mani Navasothy) , either one-to-one or at one of the many pub moots or pagan events. The first of these meetings will be on sat 25th April'09, at a Beltane outdoor ritual event.

Regular attendance and a commitment to completing the course will be appreciated from all participants.

The lead facilitator of these courses is Mani- initiated Wiccan High Priest with 13years experience in private groups and public ritual workings. As well as having experience of Coven craft, Mani has formed and ran outdoor ritual groups Hern’s Tribe and Tamesa London Circle, and incorporates elements of transpersonal psychology, shamanic working, drumming & masks in ritual magical work. As Events Organiser for PF London, Mani has managed many open rituals, pagan socials, Masked Balls, and the annual Gaia conventions, for 4 years.

If you are interested, please contact Mani via hern3000@... or phone mobile 077689 41373 (text or call in evenings) to arrange a meeting.

Bright Blessings.

Hi Paul

You need to consider the less abled of us as there is no lift to the upper floor

and as such will proclude us and others like us from the moot.

So can this be discussed on monday befor going upstairs and a vote taken.

Bright Blessings.

As a pagan moot, I like to talk abot magical and pagan things..but don't always like being listened into ..by other pub-goers.. This is a problem downstairs.. and the fact that we have to fight to get those big seats every time.. where as upstairs.. it's easy to get large numver of seats ..

Most pub moots have a private room.. croydon moot feels more exposed..

upstais seem better.. and also toilets ae upstairs...though bar is downstairs.. pros an cons.. depends on how many people want downstairs and how often they actually come to the moot..

.let's discuss tomorrow.

Subject: What shall we do?

thipnewman

Hi everyone,

Tonight's moot proved very interesting.

Opinions are very divided as to whether or not to move upstairs.

One member only came because he thought we would be upstairs where he would be
able to hear what we are saying and fully join in.

Other members cannot make those stairs.

Whilst we remain at the Skylark I am inclined to stay downstairs but I
amseriously thinking of approaching the Brief on george Street. My only concern
is that I think they may not be able to do long-term bookings, essential to us.
On the plus side we would have the space to ourselves and might even get us some
speakers.

What do you think??

Please let me know, I want to hear everyones opinions

Bright Blessings

Paul

Hi Paul/ all,

The Brief is a good idea... closer to croydon buses/train/trams..

and they already host the Bacchus morris rehearsals right? so they must be friendly..

We don't book the Skylark anyway, so we could technically do same at Brief.. ie ..on the days when they don't do actuall bookings, we can still be there to meet each other ..as ordnary punters do?

sorry I didn't make the moot today.. too much going on at work and on srilankan tamil persecution problems.. everyone s very upset and focused on that.. so for a while am cutting out all moots/socials as a sign of respect to fellow tamils who are dying in their hundreds back home..

I agree with Mani on all points including the concern for the Tamil population now in Sri Lanka and the apology for I, too, did not make it on Monday.

If we stay at the Skylark (and I'm not a great fan of it) I think just a social downstairs is all we can do. But I think best to move.

edmund_2013

Next weekend are the open days for the Orpington and District
Archaeological Society open days (September 12/13th 2009) for viewing
the remains of the Scadbury moated manor at Chislehurst, Bromley.
This is open from 2.00 to 4.30 pm both days.

There are few chances to see a working archaeological site within the
M25.    For further details see - <http://www.odas.org.uk/>

Scadbury was the country pad of Sir Thomas Walsingham, the favourite
wine merchant of Queen Elizabeth.    It is also the birthplace of Sir
Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's spy master general.    The warrant
for the arrest Marlow the playwright (aka Marley and a few other names)
was raised at Scadbury in 1593.

The site is within Scadbury Nature Reserve.    Neither the LB Bromley
nor ODAS will take any responsibility for the results of anyone picking
the wild fungi which start to appear this time of Year.     Also
Elizabethan brickwork was not built to British Standard and is now
highly suspect.

There is another site in London which is also open all year.    This is
the foreshore of the River Thames.    No digging is allowed, as the
Thames does that for you.    See <http://www.thamesdiscovery.org/> to
join the mudlarks.

Hi,

As my first email did not get through, I assume it fell foul of Yahoo anti spamming.    A certain organisation has been using my name in vain, without my permission and knowledge, to spam social drugs.    I have been receiving bounced emails from ISPs for email addresses which no longer exist. The organisation can not be named as the law is there to protect the guilty.     Thus my email address has been added to the spam list.

Next weekend are the open days for the Orpington and District Archaeological Society open days (September 12/13th 2009) for viewing the remains of the Scadbury moated manor at Chislehurst, Bromley.    This is open from 2.00 to 4.30 pm both days.

Scadbury Moated Manor (Chislehurst) - Open Weekend

Saturday and Sunday 12th and 13th September 2009 from 2 - 4:30

Excavations in progress
Ruined remains of medieval manor house
Bookstall & refreshments

Self-guided tours of excavations from 2 pm to 4:30 pm

No need to book in advance - just come on the day

The tours start at the point where the estate circular footpath in Scadbury Nature Reserve passes the moated site.

Map of Scadbury

The nearest access from the road is via the footpath between 12 & 14 St Paul's Wood Hill, turning left along the circular footpath (5 mins walk). This entrance is not suitable for disabled access - use the Perry Street entrance. The footpath can be uneven and muddy in wet weather. The main entrance to Scadbury Park is in Old Perry Street (with parking).

There is an entrance in Perry Street itself - this is a 20 mins walk to the site.

Some parking is available for elderly or disabled people - use the Perry Street entrance for disabled vehicle access. (Single track farm road with plenty of potholes and few passing places - Edmund.)

Dear Edmund,

Your email was not so much a victim of Yahoo anti-spam but of Yahoo! groups
potential spam. Any messages thus marked are held for approval by the moderator,
i.e. me - and I very rarely check the group unless something is flagged for my
attention, which this wasn't. I only found out about it by chance.

Edmund, I am sorry if I was not able to get your message posted in time. I see
this has caused distress to you and would like to assure you that no malicious
intent was intended.

Obviously, I should check for similar emails more often from now on and not wait
for any messgae from Yahoo.

With Best Wishes

Paul

Hello Paul,
I think bits of this group need "cleaning up" (see messages above this).
I receive the updates in my yahoo mail, and don't want to spam the whole thing
just because there are some nasty people out there.
Hugs,
Emilia

Sorry everyone about the spam,

People have done this before and I just delete them and their message. previous
spammers included biker-girl, but nobody complained, presumably because her body
was clothed.

I am deleting this user now

When I have time, I shall make this a moderated group, this should stop the
problem, but my apologies for all of you who have been offended

Paul
